Happy 62nd Birthday (oy) to Van Morrison ("Caravan" with The Band from "The Last Waltz" in 1977)...
...Happy Birthday also to Greg Richling of The Wallflowers ("Sleepwalker")...
...Happy 68th Birthday to Jerry Allison, one of Buddy Holly's "Crickets" (so named because they thought they heard them when recording in the studio - "Oh Boy," from 1958, introduced by Ed Sullivan)...
...Happy Birthday also to Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze ("Another Nail In My Heart" from 1980)...
...and virtuoso jazz vibraphonist Lionel Hampton left us five years ago today (here's "Vibe Boogie," performed with his band - nice hat; what time does the yacht set sail? Seriously - sort of - let's all swing it just a bit as the summer draws to a close...waaaaahhhh!)...
...oh, and a Happy Birthday to Dan Rather also (speaking candidly with Bill Maher last March about journalists; yeah, the Burkett thing was a mess, but apparently the pinup Katie doll flew over to Iraq for a touchy-feely "news" segment that hopefully won't get her interview subjects killed, and that's supposed to be "stop the presses" time? Rather did stuff like that - and much more dangerous - throughout his career...top that, and an important last word from Maher about what we've sacrificed under Bushco).
